Dnt thermals

Thanks @Pfddi
That is very useful info
And being from an actual user is most reliable.
More consideration can now take place on this end.
It must be said (admitted) that never had I considered strain on the eyes from the digital screens.
Thanks for mentioning it

Just to bore you a little
Pesting here is for protecting our home mini orchard from the squirrels that think the trees were planted for them
Shooting, and trapping them (Havahart) for relocation are the primary methods
Lately however, we have caught rats in the squirrel traps overnight
And now some night shooting is in order
Most of this is under 50 yards.
I have to get them before they start considering our house as their home

Thanks again
Edward

@SilentSquirrel - The MARS 1000 is only a thermal scope, not a "multispectral" like the DNT ThermNights. I have a Zulus 3-12 that I use mostly during the day. I have a PARD Landsat 640 which is comparable to the TNC635R. I will use it during the day if it's handy for pests but I mostly use it a night. Since it is a 640k resolution, you can make out what you are shooting at very easily. I rarily change over to the NV side to shoot anything at night with it anymore. I still grab a glass scope for the day.

I use all thermal scopes during the day quite a lot now. With the higher resolution, you can see stuff hiding in the brush where a glass or NV scope will not be abl;e to see it. I use it for the squirrels and rats that go up in the trees to hide during the day and they work great. Maybe not "sporting" but I'm pesting so the idea is to get ride of them. That being said, I will use the PARD Landsat during the day to find the pest with the thermal and then switch over to the digital day mode to shoot it so I can really see all the "surroundings" to miss the branches.

The only thing that keeps me from using a digital scope all the time is the eye to screen burn in. And here is where the DNT does have one over the MARS in that you can use the WiFi to scan for critters on you phone while the Oneleaf does not have WiFi yet (They said they are working on a firmware upgrade as they apparently have the chipset in the scope already). I use a thermal monocular when night hunting to avoid using the scope to find the targets. It saves on your eyes burning out but not by much.

I looked up the PARD Landsat 640 is $2000 more then DNT TNC535R is that right?
